Arrow Types

The Hunter Bow serves as the all-round must-have bow for its roughly balanced Impact and Tear damage power accompanied with the ability to inflict fire element damage which many story-related enemies are weak against; it's also capable of firing the least costly munition in the game.

Sharpshot Bows, despite their handling speed, are very useful to deliver peak Impact and Tear damage through Precision and Tearblast arrows respectively. They possess a bonus functionality that could strip machine parts more cleanly, using Harvest arrows.

Deals no damage and high corruption severity on impact. Machines and humans corrupted by this arrow will be aggressive against other machines and humans while this effect lasts, and can be used to temporarily turn the odds in the player's favor.

This corruption turns machines' lights green and, while the effect lasts, makes them hostile to everything, including Aloy, unlike Override which makes them fight for you.

Deals low freeze damage and medium freeze severity on impact. It can be used to freeze enemies, slowing them down significantly and making them more susceptible to impact damage. Effective against machines with Freeze canisters or freeze vulnerability.

Deals low shock damage and medium shock severity on impact. It can be used to shock machines, temporarily stunning and locking them in place. Effective against machines with Shock canisters or shock vulnerability.
